Former Multiport founder and chief executive John McIlroy has joined Crystal Wealth Partners as a director and shareholder.

McIlroy parted company with Multiport on 16 April 2012, with former iPac head of financial planning Libby Roy stepping into his position.

Multiport, a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) and managed account business, was purchased by AXA in 2009.

Crystal Wealth Partners executive director Tim Wedd said McIlroy's experience with high-net-wealth (HNW) clients across a range of investment structures would be "a great asset for the business".

"We believe that advisers will be looking for more engaging client propositions post-FOFA and we have designed our managed accounts framework specifically to include discretionary and nondiscretionary direct investment services that can accommodate varied client and adviser needs," said Wedd.

"Crystal Wealth Partners is not institutionally owned or affiliated and our view is that more professional advisers will be looking for these types of client solutions in the future," he added.

McIlroy said he was looking forward to building the growth of Crystal Wealth Partners through acquisitions of HNW client books and recruiting like-minded advisers and accountants.

"The trend towards direct investing and 'self-directed' retirement planning through SMSFs means that traditional adviser solutions need to change. Crystal Wealth Partners has designed its client solutions to be at the forefront of these changes."
